The Tuscan countryside sprung in the heart of Milan on Saturday as Italian fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo showed its spring-summer 2019 collection, full of soft hues and rich leather.

Creative director of women’s collections, Paul Andrew, and Guillaume Meilland, head of the group’s ready-to-wear, said the collection was inspired by the colour palette of Tuscany’s rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves.

Bold tones of emerald, indigo, orange, red and violet popped out ‘as punctuation’ among the taupe, caramel, biscuit beige, khaki and olive green, in clothes and accessories designed for both men and women.

It was a continuation of the Florence-based maison’s autumn-winter collection, which was also created by the two designers.
